[00:00:03] Lyrics by：Merle Travis

[00:00:06] Composed by：Merle Travis

[00:00:10] Some people say a man is made out of mud

[00:00:14] A poor man's made out of muscle and blood

[00:00:18] Muscle and blood and skin and bones

[00:00:22] A mind that's weak and a back that's strong

[00:00:25] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:00:29] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:00:33] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:00:37] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:00:50] I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine

[00:00:55] I picked up my shovel walked out to the mine

[00:00:58] I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal

[00:01:03] The straw boss said

[00:01:05] Well-a bless my soul

[00:01:06] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:01:11] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:14] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:01:19] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:01:32] I was born one morning it was drizzlin' rain

[00:01:37] Fightin' and trouble that's my middle name

[00:01:40] I was raised in the cane

[00:01:42] Break by an old mama lion

[00:01:44] Can't no high-toned woman make me walk the line

[00:01:48] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:01:52] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:01:56] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:00] I owe my soul to the company store

[00:02:14] Now if you see me comin' better step aside

[00:02:18] A lot of men didn't a lot of men died

[00:02:22] One fist of iron the other of steel

[00:02:26] If the right one don't getcha then the left one will

[00:02:30] You load sixteen tons and what do you get

[00:02:34] Another day older and deeper in debt

[00:02:37] Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go

[00:02:42] I owe my soul to the company store
